A good story is told Of an Omaha doc
tor. Some years ago nc became engaged
in a fight with another man, whom he
finally Knocked down with heavy china
pitcher. The man received an ugly scalp
wound, which the doctor sewed up. One
would naturally suppose that the victim
would not be called upon to pay for the
surgical attendance, but it is fact that
.he doctor presented a bin for $50 and
what is more he get the money There's
nothing like having a., eye to business. -

"The most expensive human hair is sill
yer gray in color and is worth 500 an
ounce, says New York dealer. "Most
of the human hair used in our trade" he
adds, 'iS imported from Bohemia and
France. It is not uncommon for Bohe-
mian woman to cut eight inches of hair
from her head every year. Peddlers ex-
change finger rings and other articles of
personal adornment for these clippings.
The use of hair restoratives and the gen
eral lack of vigor on the part of Ameri-
can women destroy the value of American
hair. Drab shades of human hair are
more expensive than brown or black"

Grave doubts have recently been cast
on NJ. Pasteurs success in curing hydro
phobia. The weight of English scientific
opinion is now adverse to his treatment
for anthrax in cattle His method in
both these cases is the same. By inocu-
lating the virus of a specific contagious
disease from one starving animal to an
other, he claims that at length the poi
son is so weakened that if received by
man only the harmless symptoms of the
disease win appear, and that the body
will be protected against future attacks,
the disease never occurring twice in a
lifetime The theory is beautiful, but i;
has not been successful in practice,

Patti says that she is called the
"Queen of Song" not because she is the
greatest singer, but because she has
many gifts. She enumerates them as
follows: 81 pass for pretty, that's one; /
am tolerably graceful, that's two; I am a
good dresser, that's three; have a way
with me that's piquant, that's four; l
like my public, that's five; 1 havea good
voice, that's six; know how to sing,
that's seven; I always know my music,
that's eight; 1 act fairly well the roles
given me, that's niae. What more do
you want in a singer9" And an enthusi-
astic public hastens to answer: "Noth-
ing, dear Patti, except a repetition of
cIome, Sweet Home.'"

A FRIENDS HAND IN MINE, LADS.

! FRIENDS HAND IN MINE, LADS
Sometimes 'tis May, lads,
She sky soft and bright;
We sing on our way, lads,
With brave hearts and light.
But May cannot last, lads;
With great clouds rolled,
The skies are o'ercast, lads,
The world turns cold.
A friends hand in mine, lads,
A kind hand and true,
In rough ways and dark days
1t helps a man through.
We've small gifts to give, lads.
A poor purse to show,
But what man can live, lads,
With naught to bestow?
A word of brave cheer lads,
A warm grasp and strong,
Beats all your gear, lads,
To help hearts along.
A friends hand in mine, lads,
A kind hand and true,
In rough ways and dark days
1t helps man through.
Do what you can, lads,
And do it with might;
God isn't man, lads,
To judge by the sight
Pence pounds outweigh, lads,
When wills are right good,
And, OH to hear Him say, lads,
"He's done what he could"
A friends hand in mine, lads,
A kind hand and true,
In rough ways and dark days
1t helps man through.

The average age of those who enter
college is now seventeen. One hundred
years ago it was fourteen, and it will be
doubtless nineteen ere long, for our wisest
educators affirm that youth of sixteen
seldom knows the value of study, and the
older students do the best work.

that 'but one thing is lacking to com

A WATCHMAKER'S FAME.

P. S. Bartlett was one of the origi-
nal foremen in the pioneer Waltham
factory, and his name was adopted as
trademark and has been running as
such very nearly thirty years. At the
lowest calculation 500, 600 Bartlett
watches have been made and sold.
The exact figures are not at hand, but
this is about as near as can be esti-
mated. The Bartlett watch is unques-
tionably one of the most popular
watches ever made. 1t ranks almost
as high as the adjusted "Appleton,
Tracy & Co.. and is, in fact. con-
structed on the same model. The pat
ent regulator Bartlett is full jeweled,
has a compromising balance fitted with
the Waltham patent Breguet hair
spring, which is hardened and tenn
pered in form so as never to change its
curve, and is very closely regulated. 1t
is made for any kind of silver or gold
cases The latest improvement in the
Bartlett watch is in the open-face style
to wind and set without ever opening
the case, the winding as well as the
hand-setting being done by the crown
only. Unlike the arrangements in 9TH
er watches this Bartlett hand-set is in
the neck Of the case, so that it does not
at all complioate the movement. Up
ward of 1900 of them have been pur-
chased by the British Government dur
ing the past ten years and are used on
the state railways in India For the
same purpose the colonial authorities
of New South Wales, Victoria and
Soutl, Australia have large orders in
hand. Through these excellent time
keepers P. S. Bartlett's name is known
in all civilized countries.-N. Y JetoeL-

TIE AGE OF PAPER.
Bonae of the Singular Uses to Which That
Substance Is Now Put.

Some OF the singular uses co winch TnoS
Substance Is Now Put.
The present might be called the age
of paper, the uses to which the sub
stance is put in the arts and menufac-
lures are now so manifold. Paper
wheels under railroad cars are no
longer a novelty. The article known
as celluloid is simply the pulp of paper
treated with certain acids until its fiber
is altered, the product being dried and
hardened. The japanese have long
used paper handkerchiefs, which they
carry in packages on the person.
When a japanese has once mopped his
face or blown his trumpet he casts the
handkerchief away. He can't under
stand our practice of carrying soiled
linen about US.
But the most singular use to which
it has been put is for bottles. These
are six-sided, with the top and bottom
of wood. the thing resembling the
piece of fireworks known as a Flower
pot The paper is nearly as stiff as
cardboard. and is laquered in the inside
to make it liquid tight. So far the
paper bottle has been chiefly employed
for holding ink, and its success has
been unmistakable. For shipping pur-
poses it has been found safer than
glass. The ink has been transported
all over the country with less loss or
damage than when contained in glass.
